This is fantasy football today from CBS Sports. What a play! Can you believe this? It's a no idea. It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Off to the races, and he stays on his feet. It's just going to go the distance. Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.

It's Hump Day, and it's October. Wednesday, October 1st. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Fantasy Football today. presented by BetMGM, the sports book for it in Vegas. Heath, busy day for you. You've got to put out all the Halloween decorations. It's time.

Hey, it's October 1st. You know, I'm going this year as Liam Cohen because I was trying to put in a new offense last night with my basketball team. And I felt very much like Liam Cohen. They can't throw. They can't catch. Nobody goes to the right place. This is a disaster.

I thought you meant you were going to steal signs. Yeah. or out-of-order signs. I think the whole steel signs thing is so dumb. And put it outside the front of your house so nobody comes to your house on Halloween night. I think it's this whole steel sign thing is so dumb. Well, maybe.

Have better signs. Maybe I can go as Robert Sala and you and I can, you know, have one of our throwback fights. Who looks more like who? Me and Liam Cohen or Adam and Robert Sulla. Oh, boy. You and Liam Cohen.

I don't know if Adam shaved his head. No, I don't think so. Okay. So we got to. some news updates for you. We have a costume, madam. Commit to the costume.

I have a costume idea. I propose it to Dave. He said no. So I'm going to propose it to Jamie for Halloween. It's a Friday. I think we can have fun with it. I'll text it to you or I'll type it to you in the private chat. You let me know what you think.

Anyway. We, by the way, Heath has to do this as well. It requires you coming to Florida. We have our first auction item for next year's draftathon. A trip to Florida? And you two have to sign it. Oh.

okay i'll be there by by what is it say we'll we'll keep teasing the suspense but it's it's it's an autograph paraphernalia from our show all right okay let's get into the show here quarterback news we have a new quarterback in cleveland we're going to tell you who to buy low and sell high on we're talking about chris godwin we're going to talk about a j brown obviously i'll bring up brian thomas junior it has to happen on pretty much every show we do uh with derrick henry will be discussed amecca buka dk metcalfe and we will preview Thursday night football and we will redraft round one, which I think is going to be pretty running back heavy. News and notes. Lamar Jackson not expected to play this week. They get

Houston, then the Rams, then a buy. I don't think anyone would be surprised to see him out through the buy week. So that would be two games. But for now, he's not expected to play this week, Lamar Jackson. Dylan Gabriel is going to start for Cleveland. I already did my preview for that game and my stat of the game was that out of, I don't know, 130-ish qualified quarterbacks in college football last year, Dylan Gabriel had the third lowest air yards per target. I don't know if that will be the same here, but he is not a downfield guy. He doesn't have a big arm. That's going to be a really big change for the Browns. Is this good or bad for the Browns? It can't be bad, right?

It can't be worse. I mean, it's been awful. So, you know, give them credit for trying something different at this point. I just feel bad for Gabriel. Like, you've got to go play the Vikings defense in his first start in Europe. You know, so not even a home crowd to support him here. So it's a little tough to say, you know, hey, I'm starting Jerry Judy and the Brown's tight ends at this point with any semblance of confidence at this stage, just based on what the Vikings run defense looked like last week. It's Quinn Judkins or bust.

Go ahead. Keith. No, go ahead. No, you know you. The two changes I'm going to make to my projections, because Joe Flacco right now is averaging 5.1 yards per pass attempt. Maybe Dylan Gabriel will be worse than that, but you can't be that much worse. I think the Browns, like they have a 34% rush rate so far this year. It might be 54% in this game. Because Joe Blacko teams just throw a bunch. And the other thing is he's probably not going to throw an interception on 4% of his passes. Okay, and running back. Right, right. He, last year in college, 8.6 yards per attempt on an 8 out of 6.7 yards. So that's to Adam's point about throwing short. Here's his rates to positions.

Wide receivers, 50% of his, 57% of his targets. Running backs, 14.3%. Heath, you're going to love this. Tide-end target rate, 23.7%. So maybe Harold Fanon ain't dead yet. You know, it just depends on whether, like, first off, most of the season, it's just been a dysfunctional offense. Last week, Harold Fanon should have had his breakout game and just didn't play very well.

But he has the eighth most expected fantasy points. So if you're in an expected fantasy points league, you should definitely start Harold Fanon. That's in the future. All right, Brock Purdy not expected to play. Although he hasn't ruled it out yet. He's trying to get out there. He's got the Thursday game at the Rams. But right now we're not expecting Brock Purdy due to the.

the toe injury. At least he's speaking optimistically. Maybe he'll be back next week. Carolina head coach, Dave Canales, talked about the benefits of splitting the backfield work, keeping those guys fresh. So, you know, I mentioned, I think, yesterday, even in the first half of the game,

it was a blowout, the first half of the game, they were within one carry of each other, Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdell. Bucky Irving, this is the big one here. He's getting, I didn't even know what to do. He's getting more medical opinions on his foot and ankle. but also hasn't been ruled out for this week. I don't think we like second opinions.

But now if we're going to talk about the waiver wire and Sean Tucker and Rashad White, Rashad White, not really available, but Sean Tucker is. I was kind of in the 8 to 12% range on my Tucker bids. He's 14% roster. Jamie, what do you think now based on this Bucky Irving news? I would guess just from looking at some of the Twitter doctor reports that it could be anything from low ankle. sprain to turf toe to, you know, something that is not necessarily season long, but could be

pain tolerance related. But again, that's just, you know, reading speculation stuff. But I think at this point, yeah, you should be picking up Sean Tucker and you should definitely be picking up Rashad White because if it is something serious, then, you know, you want to have the opportunity to have that player on your team. I was with you. That's about what I spent on Sean Tucker. I got him in a few leagues. You know, a few leagues where waivers ran, not fab, you know, got him as well. So I think if you're, like, an easy pivot for me is going to be, and, you know, do this in the leagues we're in together if you want to, you know, take advantage of it or not. But like Isaiah Davis, just an easy guy to go pick up if you drop Sean Tucker. You know, he's available everywhere and now the handcuffed

to, to, uh, Breece Hall. So like, there's easy ways to move off this. You know, if we find out there's news about Trey Benson today, Michael Carter's available in every league and still probably, I don't know what DeMarcato's percentage is. That's an easy pivot play as well. So, you know, you can still get some quality player. In the case of Tampa Bay's backfield, I think we kind of illustrated it enough on Tuesday that White is my preference just because it was working the passing game,

but Tucker can be a flex, just knowing how much they used him last year in that one game when Rashad White was out. Just looking at a few FFT Open leagues, the Schneider division. Darius Slayton went for 28. He's out of an original $100 budget. Sean Tucker went for seven in the,

Dave division Leak Washington went for 26 interesting Slayton went for 10 and Tucker went for four to Dave nice job and I'll just do one more

in the Azer division let's see who got I got Sean Tucker for 11 and oh you spent almost three times as much as I did how about that and I got Michael Carter

for four I didn't know didn't necessarily want both of them but that's kind of what happens with FAB sometimes well congratulations okay so So that's running back.

Wide receiver, Ricky Pearsall and Joanne Jennings. You feel like that's going to be $7 well spent? I think it was $15. Oh, I'm sorry, $15. I got Dave's $4. Yeah, no, yeah, 14 or 15, whatever it was. That's a lot. It is a lot, except in that particular league.

I'm a little more aggressive because the playoffs end two or three weeks earlier. You don't need Fab once you get to the next round. If you win your division, so you don't need it for. as many weeks. Ricky Pearson and Joanne Jennings were listed as DNPs. Cedric Tillman is on IR, so he's out at least four weeks. Tyree Kill's agent Drew Rosenhouse says Tyree Kill will play next season, perhaps at the beginning of the season.

We shall see tight end news. Tight end Gunner Helm for the Titans is expected to get more opportunities. So if you were thinking about streaming Chigo Conquo, you might want to reconsider. And Colton Miller left tackle for the Raiders, he is on IR. And Packers' defensive lineman, Devante Wyatt, is weak. to week. The Packers' DST last week was one of the biggest busts. Man, they were horrible. I gave up 40 points. First time they gave up more than 13, I think, all year. All right, Sunday, we have another game in Europe. So we have another live stream from 8.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m. to 9.30

a.m. to 9.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m. Right. Up until kickoff. And then again, from noon to 1. These live streams are on YouTube.com slash fantasy football today. We'll see you there. Who hated that more? The people on the West Coast or Heath having to do FFT Express earlier than normal? The only thing that I was irritated about

doing FFT Express earlier than usual was I told Adam we're not going to know if Jalen Warren's playing or not. Oh, they said he's going to play. And then Jalen Warren didn't play and we didn't talk about it. Well, I mean, I can say

what actually happened is that we did talk about it right at the top of the show. Oh, he's going to play. Jaylon Warren's going to play, you know, start him, whatever. And then right before we went on the air for, not right before, but before we went on the air for the 830 stream, we found out he was inactive and I was like, oh, I can't publish this. What if this is the only thing that people hear?

So Thomas edited it out, edited all the Warren stuff out. So he saved our bacon, big time. Good job, Thomas. Bad job, Adam. It was the most curse words I've ever received via text message before 8,000. 30 a. Really? From a league, yeah, on a Sunday.

All right. Bilo's, so you're just going to tell us kind of how you feel about these guys and what you'd be willing to give up. Jamie's going to start with Jamar Chase, who has had only one good game so far, and Tenerow and McMillan, who has had only, I guess, one good game so far. So Chase and McMillan. Go ahead, Jamie. Well, I think obviously everybody's frustrated with Jamar Chase that drafted him,

knowing that Joe Burrow is going to be out for the majority of the. season and he's been a disappointment like you said in all but one game certainly the last two games without burrow starting but this is a big time bounce back opportunity for him against detroit clearly this is the easiest defense so far that jake browning has faced and i think we will get a good jemar chase performance you're not going to get pique jimar chase so understand that if you're if you're buying him but i think that's the selling point in trying to get him because the manager that has him understands that as well and so if you can let's say turn george pickens and maybe something else, because I don't know if George Pickens by himself gets it done,

but the idea of somebody who's playing at a very high level that somebody else may have had some interest in, and you mentioned it, we're going to redraft round one. There's a lot of running backs you probably throw at the Jamar Chase manager as well that they may have missed out on because of what they took in round one and maybe in round two. So there's probably, it probably needs to be a package of players to get Jamar Chase, but if he starts to look like himself as the schedule lightens up a little bit, it's not going to be easy. And obviously the quarterback situation is not getting any better until, the end of the year. But still, you want to try to acquire him if you can, especially if you need

some wide receiver help knowing what that position looks like right now. So you wouldn't give up George Pickens just straight up for Chase? Who would you rather have rest of season? Oh, I'd rather have Chase for the season. Okay. So you would do that in theory. Okay. And in the case of McMillan, look, it's been, it's been frustrating. Obviously, he has not, he's been on the cusp of like some big games. He's been on the cusp of, hey, this breakout is coming or this performance is going to happen. We've talked about this for the last couple of weeks. This schedule. right now is great for him in the next, you know, several games. So there's a chance for it to happen.

And again, if there's a frustrated McMillan fantasy manager, take advantage of that as well. He's got the fourth easiest schedule rest of season, third easiest in the next four weeks. Love the McMillan call. Love it. Yeah, and he's gotten eight or more targets in every game. So that should give you a floor. I mean, I guess it hasn't really given you that much of a floor so far. But he's Bryce Young.

Look, this team has no big plays. I mean, they just never make big plays. But Bryce Young, he's 0 for four on past attempts of 30 or more air yards. One of them was a throwaway. The other three were to McMillan. So if they are going to make big plays, it's going to be through him. We'll get some more bylaws in a minute.

a by-low for you. He was only started in 7% of leagues, which was a good call. Three catches for 26 yards, but he did have 10 targets against Philadelphia. Godwin and Jalen Waddle for you. Yeah, 146 air yards in his debut for Chris Godwin.

Very happy with how involved he was. We talk about it sometimes when we have guys coming back that we don't want to start him that first week back. We call it to shake the rust off game. Chris Godwin had a little bit of rust last week. Hopefully he got it all shaken off. But it may take another week. I still think that there is a very good chance that while when

Mike Evans is back, it's going to be a condensed passing offense. I think Godwin could still lead this team in targets and maybe be the most reliable in full PPR. He got back a little earlier and we expected. He was more involved in the first game back. I would be looking to trade running backs that people are excited about that we're not necessarily sure are going to be full-time running backs rest of season. I think, like, maybe you can see what type of wide receiver you have to put with Bachel Toon, who people refuse to give up on. I would say Jacori Kroski Merritt, see if you could give him up for Chris Godwin.

I don't really want to give Trayvion Henderson up, but that's somebody that's kind of in the same range. A couple things on Godwin. So, really, I think the Bucks in general, right? They are typically a pretty run-heavy team. They were chasing points against the Eagles. Godwin had a 30% 29% slot rate last week.

That's not good for him, right? I mean, the one year that he had recently where he was really bad a couple years removed from the ACL, he had a pretty low slot rate. We want him to be closer to 60. Typically, I mean, that's just kind of been the case. And then Evans is coming back.

I assume when Evans comes back, Godwin will pop back into the slot, which is good, but Evans is going to be back. So, which is bad. So I just don't know how to approach, Because Dave's going to talk about a mecca-a-buka as a cell high. I don't know what this receiving core looks like.

And if we're buying low on Godwin, is that going to be just kind of a fool-jew once Evan comes back? The broader question is, how do you think of the Bucke-wide receivers going forward? Heath, I'll let you start. I think, like, you can't have anyone at the top of the Bucke's-wide receivers right now, except for a Mecca-A-A-Bucca based on what he's done. but he's played a game without either one of these guys and two games without Godwin and one game with a partial Godwin

and he's like seven and a half targets per game. I think there's a chance in full PPR Godwin's the best one rest of season. I'm afraid Evans will be the worst rest of season. Okay. We also don't know when Evans is coming back and what we've seen so far, whether that continues or not because of how well a becca and or Godwin are playing by the time Evans is back they he has seen everybody's best corner who has seen oh Evans Evans you know and so

is that still the way you play Tampa is take Mike Evans away who will be a gimpy Mike Evans at first or a rusty Mike Evans at first put a phrase that way rusty Mike Evans at first coming back from an injury and look, you know, you say they're a run-heavy team. They may not have the running back. We don't know. That's true. Although he's actually been one of the worst rushers in football so far in terms of metrics because I was looking at Christian McCaffrey.

McCaffrey's been horrible, right? I mean, 3.3 yards per carry, I think. I think his longest run is 16 yards. Bucky Herving's been basically just as bad as a rusher. It's kind of weird. And they're really, I think run-heavy is probably the wrong word to use. They're a neutral team. I mean, they weren't going into, are they? I thought they were like 20 years.

For the year, they're 16th in rush rate. Okay, I thought, I think going into the game, they were in the 20s and pass rate. But, okay, so fair enough. Jalen Waddle, you know, Tyree Kill was giving us about, I think two straight games, about 16 points, PPR. He was kind of on, on his way to something like that. You know, who knows? What do you think about Waddle? I'll give you that number, 16 points per game.

You think Waddle gets there rest of season? Well, he's had 12 games since the start of 20, 23, where he's had at least seven targets, and he's averaged 17 fantasy points per game in those 12 games. I don't think that 16's quite a fair expectation. Maybe 15 would be a better one, but 1617's definitely possible. I would rather have Jalen Waddle than any Bucks wide receiver rest of season. Okay. Do you think you could buy him alone, though, now?

I think that they're like what he's done so far this year and what he didn't do in the game after Tyreek Hill left, you're probably not going to be able to buy low on Jalen Waddle in one of our leagues. Maybe, maybe, but probably not. But I think in a lot of leagues, yes. A guy that's that's done so little is going to be and had some disappointments in the last year. Do you view them as a top 24 receiver rest of season? Yes, I think he's closer to top 18 than top 24. Yeah, so I was actually going to start narrowing it down and it was going to actually ask you. I think 18.

I'd say he's top 18, but he's towards the bottom of that. I've got him as receiver 20 rest of season. And I feel like people understand that without Tyree Kill there, he's got a great opportunity to haul in a bunch of targets. I think the offense is a lot different than where it was last year. I don't think they're going to completely revert back to what they did in 2024. And his track record has always been. and kind of crummy when everybody's healthy, but when somebody's missing, he steps up.

The flip side is that everybody has a strong opinion on Jalen Wattle not being able to stay healthy, and that's going to live in people's minds as they move forward with him. So he's not somebody that I think you should give up a lot for in trade, but still a decent amount. But where is he on the trade chart? He's right in the same range for me,

a little bit behind Michael Pittman. He's definitely behind Xavier Worthy, Quinn Johnston. He's ahead of McLauran. If you can't wait for Terry McLaurin, you're not sure what's going on with McLaren. Maybe you can give McLaurin and a little bit more to get Jalen Waddle. So you have a Bucca as a Sall High? I do.

Would you have, whether I have Waddle or a Bucca rest of it? I'd rather, I think I can get a lot more for a Bucca right now. But would you rather have a Bucca. I'd still rather have a Bucca, but it's kind of close. I think you can get Waddle Plus for a Bucca, and I would love that deal. Yes, that I would agree with. Waddle has so Tyreek going into week four averaging 7.7 targets per game Waddle in his career 18 games with at least eight targets in those 18 games he's averaging I'm sorry 26 games in his

career with eight plus targets. He's averaging 18.9 ppr points per game when he gets eight plus targets. All right I got to take a break guys we'll be right back we're going to talk about some more by lows the sell highs is Saquan Barkley still a first round pick if we were drafting today We'll tell you a little bit. We'll be right back. With Amex Platinum, access to exclusive Amex pre-sale tickets can score you a spot track side.

Okay, Dave, you wanted to talk a little bit more about Jamar Chase, who Jamie listed as a by-low. I agree that he's a good by-low. I just wouldn't break the bank and overpaying. for a guy who, I've got it right in front of me, 10 career games where he's played at least 28 snaps with Jake Browning,

two big games, two Jamar Chase-style fantasy games, and eight games with 12.1 or fewer PPR points. I don't think we can view him as the type of studly receiver. I mean, I think everybody knows that, but I'm not even sure if we can or should view him as like a low-end, wide receiver one rest of season. And we need to see some significant change in Cincinnati before we do that. Browning ain't it.

The offensive line's in trouble. Their defense is really bad, which means they're going to be in a lot of games where opposing defenses are going to predictably play defense to cover Jamar Chase because they know that the Bengals are going to be passing a ton against them. And maybe that was the case before. Yeah, I mean, it's a lot easier. Hold on. It's a lot easier now because it's Jake Browning behind a worse offensive line that he was playing

with in 2023. So I don't mind going after Jamar Chase. I'd have to double check what I've got the schedule projected as as far as ranking rest of season in the next four weeks. But I don't think it's pretty good. They do play in the AFC North. There used to be some really good defenses in there. Now I think there's only two.

I would be a little, I just, I would caution people don't spend too much for the name because I don't think the numbers are going to match what we were expecting or even like 60% of what we were expecting. I will just say, like, the next two weeks are probably not good. But then Pittsburgh, Jets, Bears, Steelers, Patriots, Ravens twice, dolphins. There's a lot of good matchups for Marchase. I think this week next to be a really good time. Detroit's got two defensive backs who are injured, but cornerbacks, right?

I mean, yeah, Arnold and Reed, they might be down both of their starting corners for this game. Now, the pass rush could be an issue. That's going to be an issue most weeks. It's just the question, is Jake Browning, the competent quarterback we saw two years ago, or is he one of the worst quarterbacks in football? He's played Minnesota and Denver so far. I think they'll make a change if it continues to be this bad. I would agree.

This is a big week for them. You know, home game in, again, a team that they're supposed to lose to. But the secondary issues there, I don't think they win the game. But I think if they look better offensively, then you got to feel better about where the receiving core, the passing game is if Browning comes out of this, you know, a little bit better. If they continue to look dysfunctional and Chase continues to bark at Zach Taylor, then they may go shopping and the Giants may be the first team they call. Yeah, someone else is going to be their quarterback, going to be Jamis or Winston or James or Wilson or cousins. I just, I don't know.

And I hope it is. I hope we get a change because they got to save their season. He's got to save his job. Dave's by lows, he's got four of them. C.D. Lamb, who averaged over 100 yards per game in his two healthy games. and Rishi Rice. Those two are kind of obvious. I don't think we have to dig into them.

All right. So then, AJ Brown, you know, I want to believe in this. He's got eight or more targets in three straight games, and he's only turned one of those games into anything.

And, but they are, they have the fewest pass attempts in football. Again, is that going to change? I don't know. The only game that he's been good and the only game that Devante Smith

really has been good is the one game where they were chasing points. And they're obviously an amazing team. So what, what are you thinking about, Brown. It's the exact same thing as Jamar Chase. You don't want to overpay for AJ Brown, but I can't help but think that

eventually the Eagles are going to let Jalen Hertz throw it a little bit more. It's been an inefficient start rushing wise for Sequan Barkley and the offensive line. Lane Johnson's now banged up. I don't think that that's good for anything in Philadelphia, whether

it's rushing or passing, but we did see this Eagles team throw well two weeks ago without Lane Johnson on the field. So I think that they can operate just fine passing down the way and we know that a j brown wants the ball and he's been commanding good target volume he's usually been very efficient even on seven or eight targets per game i think people who are frustrated with a j brown and their fantasy leagues are easy marks to go and get early game of the week yeah you're just the

Eagles and LeBronco is going to be a good one in Philly. And it's the game of the week. Hey. Now, let me add one last thing. Okay. You might want to wait a week to acquire A.J. Brown. Like, after everything I said, because this is Denver, and they do have good corners, and Patrick Sartan is starting to play better than he did earlier in the year.

I just hate their offense. I get it, but I love the talent of their players, and I think that they're, they're, they're going to have to start throwing a little more jaylon hurts has the the second best off target throw rate i know and he's averaging a career worst six yards per attempt career low intended air yards per attempt career low yak per completion like they're just the design's awful yeah it might be yeah it's it's frustrating i've kind of uh he's going to sink some of my teams a j brown but if he keeps getting 8 to 10 targets. I don't think he will.

You don't think he'll sink my teams, or you don't think he'll get 8 to 10 targets. I think other reasons will sink your teams. For people of A.J. Brown, I think they write it out. Obviously, football is unpredictable. So I had a thought, you know, my podcast league. I lost James Connor and Tyreek Hill in consecutive weeks

and hanging on by a thread there. You know, we don't know what's going to have it. Maybe you just take these leaps of faith and just you try. try to get Brian Thomas Jr., you try to get A.J. Brown. You try to get Ladd McConkey. You try to get Derek Henry, all these players who maybe we have good reasons to doubt them, but also, you know, they're so established and they're so good. I mean, McConkey isn't. But, you know, maybe you just take, or neither's Thomas, I guess, but you know what I'm trying to say. Maybe you just

go for it. If you're looking at your team is like, I can't win with this lineup anymore. You know, he had a leak. Let me ask you this question, because you have a lot of, and kudos to you, of Quentin Johnston. Are you turning Quentin Johnson at this point into any of those guys I would okay Henry I actually offered him

for Derek Henry and I got rejected I would not trade him for McConkey I don't think that makes sense no and I don't think

I'd trade him for Brian Thomas Jr. No would you trade him for J. Brown Jamar Chase

for A.J. Brown I don't know I think no you just have so many more past attempts for the And I'm not criticizing you

but like that's the type of player that you're supposed to turn it to those guys, right? The guys that come out of nowhere that you drafted with minimal capital and may have staying power. I mean, Quentin Johnson looks awesome, may have staying power, but if McCocky starts to get going, Hyampton continues to do this, like there are a lot of ways that this could fall apart for Quentin Johnson, and A.J. Brown could still be, like you said, you know, take the

leap of faith, can become A.J. Brown. Can Derek can return things around, you know, all those things that you just, all the players you just solicit. So, like, that's the perfect example of what you're trying to accomplish in getting these start. stars. So again, and it's not just Quinn Johnson. It's Abuka, it's Pickens. It's, you know, anybody that, that you could see potentially falling apart because other things coming back or happening to those players, like, you know, Abuka with Evans and Godwin and obviously Pickens with C.D. Lamb. So like, if you're not going to do it with that type of player, then you're probably not going to risk it for other players as well because you have to give something in

return. I know. It's easy for us to say, hey, go trade for Jamar Chase and AJ Brown. You got to give something, you know, and, and you're saying, like, in your podcast, like, you're hanging by a thread. Well, you don't have a lot of, obviously, assets to give if you're not going to give your best asset to acquire somebody that maybe long term is better. No, right. So I think that's where you draw the difference. Obviously, I could be wrong about this, but I see Jamar Chase as a, as a better asset than A.J. Brown and Brian Thomas Jr. at this point. So I would try to turn Quentin Johnson into Jamar Chase, but I wouldn't do it for the other guys because, you know, I need Quentin Johnston. Let me ask you a question. And I know the other

side of it is a zero, but do you have any regret after one week of trading CDLand for Brian Thompson? Should have trade him for Quentin Johnson. And I would trade Quentin Johnson for C.D. Lamb, you know, if I could do it again. Yeah, everybody would. Yeah, because we're a week closer to Lamb returning. He has been put on IR. I'm looking at the most traded list. Like, who would I trade for Jamar Chase or for AJ? Who would I trade for AJ Brown? Because Chase, I think people will be easier to buy into. Would I trade, would you trade Zay Flowers for A.J. Brown. In a minute. Yes. Well, what do you mean? Meaning we're getting A.J. Brown?

Yes. Yes. Am I crazy to think Cooper Rush is actually going to be good for him? I think he will change the offense and just shorten routes a lot more. So I think volume will still be there for Zayflowers. I don't know how many breakaway plays they'll have. Would you trade Ken Walker for A.J. Brown? Yes. Yes. Yeah. I think Ken Walker is probably a sell high, too. if you can.

We haven't gotten any sell highs, so let's get to that. Dave, Derek Henry was the last guy on your by-low list. I think the Ravens also try and go back to him a little bit more. They've gotten away from him for obvious reasons the last two games, but I feel like they got away from him sooner than they needed to in their games. He's got to be the catalyst of their offense. Now their offensive line, yeah, they're missing their left tackle, but the rest of that line, I think, is still in decent enough shape.

And so they can try and slow down games, try not to have Cooper Rush throw it 35 times, and lean into Derek Henry as the genesis of their offense or whatever fancy term you want to use. And so people are frustrated with Derek Henry. I've got him on a team in a league that I'm two and two in. There's no way I'm giving him up for Quentin Johnston at this point. I'd rather write it out with Derek Henry. I would almost put him on a sell high list more so than a bi-low list because I think his name still carries. wait. And so if you can turn him into A.J. Brown or Jamar Chase or one of those guys. Whoa. You'd trade Derek Henry for A.J. Brown. If I needed a receiver help, so I lost

neighbors or I lost. Derek Henry might be toast at this point. Like, the way the offense is operating and the way that the games are going to go for them. Like, if Lamar Jackson's out for three weeks, so let's just say it's two weeks by and another week, like that could be awful for him. There's still a whole half a season left after that. And I agree. I think you're probably underestimating him because he still has which you've seen pretty much every game breakaway run potential but he has three straight games with 12 or fewer carries I feel like

they're going to fix that that's the problem but what's the problem you know the game so the Texans game clearly is going to be not a game where the Texans blow them out right unless you know they just take advantage of that paper defense that's facing them

but hard to expect that with that offense but it just doesn't feel like they're going to have a lot of favorable game scripts. And we've seen this from Derek Henry, end of his Titans tenure, a few games last year, and certainly now this year. Like when they are behind, he is essentially irrelevant. Now, granted, last week's game, he wasn't terrible because he had the one run. I mean, well, he was pretty bad. I mean, only had... I was right, two weeks ago, excuse me. Yeah, two weeks ago. No, even then, he scored 10. He

he scored 10.7 or fewer PPR fantasy points with a touchdown that week, two weeks ago. In three straight games. He's been below 11 PPR fantasy points. So I get it. Last year, six losses. Derek Henry averaged 13 and a half PPR fantasy points per game. Not good. He averaged 15 cares. And you could still get a King's Ransom for him. Right. I don't disagree about the name value

or what you can get in return for him. I would want more than just A.J. Brown in exchange. All right. I'm going to do real quick, buy low or heck no? Brian Thomas Jr. How low are we buying?

Jeez, I don't even know. Abuka. Oh, my gosh, I'd rather have a buca. What? Jordan Mason. I don't have D.J. I just say no. Just throwing out names.

Jordan Mason. I would trade Jordan Mason to get Brian Thompson. I think I'd rather have Mason. Woody Marks. There you go. I trade Woody Marks to get Brian Thompson. By low or heck no, and I just my personal opinion, watching his routes, I think he looks much, much better than he did two weeks ago.

Brock Bowers is who I'm saying, I think looked much better, had a 30% target per outrun rate, 30% target share in week four. Brock Bowers. Buy low or heck no. It's definite bylaw. If you can. Heath is muted. I wasn't ignoring you.

I can't buy low on Brock Bowers when he's already on all my teams. Right. But if you were to get an offer of Quentin Johnston for Brock Bowers, how quickly are you hitting reject? I probably just leave it sitting there to punish them for sending out of that. I will say, though, the only concern I have with Bowers, and he's definitely biolocanid if you can get him cheap enough, but did what we see last week, forget about the interceptions,

tell the Raiders how they're going to operate moving forward? 21 past attempts for Dino Smith and Ashton Genti finally look like the guy that they drafted. And now they're down their left tackle. If they play the Bears every week, yeah, I mean, I was going to, no, I mean, I, well, you say they play the Bears every week, but. They held the Bears' offense in check, which the previous two teams had not been able to do. To be fair, one of them was Dallas. Right.

Okay. So I think we're encouraged by Brock Bowers, right, compared to where we were a couple weeks ago. Health-wise, yes, but to Jamie's point, the Raiders have Indy, then Tennessee, and then Kansas City. Of those three games, which ones do you see a game script where Gino's going to have to throw the ball 30 plus times? Indy and Kansas City? Most definitely Kansas City. I think Indy, maybe. I think the better that Ashton Genty does,

and this is why I didn't want to take Brock Bowers in early round two, the better Ashton Genty does, the more opportunities he's going to get, the fewer passes that Gino Smith is going to try. It also would help if Gino would stop throwing interceptions, please. Does he get benched? I think if he keeps throwing interceptions, he does get benched. But that's obvious guys.

Like those two picks that he, through. We're so bad. Oh, my God. Yes. Yes. Now, Pete Carroll's saying no, not right now, but if he keeps making you know, low bottom feeder

QB mistakes like that, then you're going to see Kenny Pickett play. And now Paul Miller's out. I mean, look, it could be trouble for money. Okay, so are we not buying low on Brock Bowers? No, you should absolutely buy low on Brock Bowers because of what his potential still is, clearly, you know, but like, again,

if somebody is, so you're taking, I'm trying to think of a tight end that's like Joanne Johnson and a player to get Brock Bowers. Well, how about this? Jamie, if you offered Derek Henry to Heath for Brock Bowers,

who says no? Heath does. Yeah. Do you say no? Yep. You'd rather Bowers than Henry. Interesting. Okay.

Let's take a break and do some sell highs when we come back. Now we're going to talk about some sell highs now. And Dave, you've got a Mecca, Abuka, and Travis E.T.N.

We touched on this with the Bucks ride receivers already. When Mike Evans comes back, what's that going to look like? What does that mean for Ameco Bucca, who's been playing great. The highlight real catches are amazing. And he is going to be the best wide receiver in Tampa rest of season. But I feel like you could get that quote unquote King's ransom for him in trade because people are desperate for wide receiver help right now. So if you're really good at wide receiver, assuming that a meca abuka is not going to get double digit targets every single week. And we're assuming that Godwin and Evans, when they come back, they stay on the field.

Then there's definitely a down swing coming for a Mecca, a Buka. For what it's worth, two things. One, Godwin had a high separation score from Fantasy Points data. And number two, in the second half last week, he actually looked pretty good. Like he was running, he didn't look good in the first half. I was watching him and I was going, oh, he looks like a tight end. But in the second half, Godwin started to get going. He was indeed separating, as the data suggests.

and he could end up being, I don't think, 10 targets per game when Evans comes back, but six or seven, and I'm not making the joke, I'm literally suggesting he averages around six or seven targets per game. And with Evans averaging five to six, what's left for a Mecca, Abuka? I think, and listen, he's made that play every week, but he's kind of been one play away from a bad fantasy day in three of his four games for Abuka. And last week's was like, holy cow, was that a just a wish cast throw from Baker Mayfield.

And it happened to go between four arms. And then there was nobody to stop that back at Bucca. Maybe he keeps doing that every week. 77 yard touchdown for a Bucca last week. Travis E.N. I'm just going to keep saying his name every time. He has a big game. He's doing great.

This isn't to say he stinks. This isn't to say he's about to fall off, but we know that Bachel Tutin is there. We think Bachel Tutin will eventually have a larger role in that offense. And we know the history of Travis E.TN as well. So still a number two fantasy running back, but not somebody that I would say is going to finish the year top 12 unless there are a lot of injuries at the position. And E.C.N or Henry?

I'd rather have Henry. I'll take ETN. Wow. Okay. ETN's schedule is about to get a little time. Is Lamar out for the year? as Lamar missed the first month? He can be kind of a little.

I mean, we don't know how long he was the number one quarterback in fantasy, isn't he? Yeah. All right. Dallas Goddard is a cell high for Heath and so is D.K. McHaff. So I'll just say it.

I didn't have the guts to put them on the list, but I'll go ahead and put it on recording so everybody can play it back. If you could get the moon, I wonder if Christian McCaffrey. Oh, I do it. I do you're going to say that. The concerns that we had before the season are no less existent.

The 49ers are obviously cursed, but that's not really even what I'm saying. Their run game is terrible. Yeah. They cannot run the football. Christian McCaffrey's got 69 carries for 200 yards. Yep. No touchdowns rushing. But he has.

he has more targets than all but five wide receivers so it doesn't matter at all may i make you an offer is he going to have a 30% target share in the second half of the season when george kittles there and maybe they have a better number one wide receiver than kendrick born yeah i i've had the same exact thought yeah they might run the ball better yeah i've had the same thought but again it's king's ransom and for me in that podcast league team i have mcalfrey and i need a lot of help So I might try to turn them into two startable, two, you know, must-start players who aren't nearly as good. When we say two startable, when I say two startable players, I'm not talking about two guys who are RB20 and wide receiver 20. No, no.

Like, I'd be aiming for RB12 and wide receiver 12. Right. So let me give you an offer. And this comes out to fair and full PPR on the trade chart. Sequin Barclay and Jalen Waddle. You have to take that. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think you do.

No question. All right, you know what? I'm going to try to make a trade offer right now, and it's going to involve Jalen Waddle. Okay. How about Jackson Smith and Chick- Let's repeat history. You've traded me Christian McCaffrey in a pinch before.

Yeah, that's right. I've got a couple extra players. You should send me an offer in the podcast league. Do you want one more trade offer? Do we need to move on? Move on. Heath finish up with your buy, with your cell highs. So I think you could put Dallas Goddard and Dalton Kincaid

in the same tight-in bucket of guys that have, Dallas Goddard has three touchdowns in three games. Last year he had two in 10. The year before, he had three in 14. The year before he had three and 12. He's never had more than five touchdowns in a game. He's averaging four targets per game. The past offense is terrible, and we all think AJ Brown's going to get better.

Any starting tight end, I would take over Dallas Goddard. And Dalton Kincaid's pretty much the same thing. I think one thing that got lost in Dalton Kincaid's touchdown last week, which was great, is he played as season low, 37% of the snaps. Jackson Hawes is playing more than him. Just been a touchdown scorer. Yeah. Okay.

That can carry you. Like if one of those guys happens to do that all year, which sometimes guys do, Jared Cook did it a couple times. But I don't want to rely on that versus targets for my fantasy starter. And then who was the other real name that I gave? He had a great game. He looked like D.K. Metcalfe on one play.

I don't think he's a top 24 wide receiver. See if somebody does after that game. Okay. Jamie, you've got Jordan Addison, who had the 81-yard catch, whatever it was, 80-plus-yard catch. And George Pickens. Pickens is obviously somebody you can still get something pretty solid for. I think at this point, depending on how long anybody thinks C.D. Lamb's going to be out coming off that game that he just had. We'll see how he does this week against the Jets.

If he's going to get Soss Gardner and, you know, I'm not sitting him by any stretch, given the teams on a buy and what he just did from a target perspective. But clearly he will not get this much attention when Lamb is healthy. The plus is that Dak Prescott is on pace for 700 plus attempts. And so there's going to be a lot of volume to go around here for pick-ins. So that's a positive. But, again, this may be somebody you can get someone significant for

or him and somebody else to get a Jamar Chase. If you want to go maybe straight up for A.J. Brown, I think that might happen. Brian Thomas Jr., those type of players. If you believe in them, you could probably make that happen. In the case of Jordan Addison, not a lot of targets, big play. I'm concerned what will happen to this passing game for all these guys when McCarthy's back based on what McCarthy looked like and how the offense was operating. And so Addison touchdown potential last year was there, touchdown potential obviously in his first game, still crowded receiving. and questions about the quarterback moving forward.

So plus they have their buy still next week. So trade for him now, and you may not need to worry about playing him against Cleveland tough matchup and then not have him next week, too. So with Pickens, when Lamb gets back, Pickens is a top blank wide receiver for you. I still think he's a top 24 receiver.

I mean, again, just based on what he's capable of doing, but can you turn that into a top 10 receiver? Receiver sucks so bad right now. Would you rather have Waddle or Pickens? Right now Waddle makes more sense. Cortland Sutton, who by the way, has about a 20% target share, not as good as we want, 27 targets for him. It's a lot better than George Pickens when C.D. Lames has been healthy. Well, there's only been two games. That's true. He's only been two games. He had four targets at Philly. He had nine targets against the Giants. That was an overtime game, though.

You're right. So Pickens or Sutton? Sutton. Okay. Pickens or Jordan Mason? Mason. I'm just probably not making that true. I think I'm still going to be lower on Pickens once Lamb's back. Pickens. Oh, I'm sorry.

Go ahead. Pickens or Ken Walker? Pickens. Walker. Here's a fun one. How about turning Pickens into George Kittle? Would you do that? Yes.

I would love to do that. Okay. All right. And I'm real quick. Sell high or no thanks, Justin Jefferson, who has a career low, 23.3% target per outrun rate. I think it's similar to McCaffrey.

Like, if you get a King's Ransom for him, you should take it. Ashton Genti, who's had one good game and it was against the Chicago Bears. No, thanks, guy. Keep them. If you can get a ton, then do it. Otherwise, don't. I just think it's bad.

I mean, it's the same answer for everybody. I think it's bad process, and it might work out. Like, Genti might suck the rest of the year. But I think it's bad process. when we have a guy who we thought was a generational talent at running back who struggled for two weeks and then had it showed the talent we thought he had to trade him off with that fair uh jordan love coming off the dallas bump

and going into a buy week he's going to a buy week but then he has cincinnati arizona pittsburgh carolina i could see them not having to throw a lot in the next month and that's kind of their mo i'm not giving up much of anything Like, I don't even, in full PPR, I don't know if I would even give up Godwin straight up for I don't think you can sell high on a low-end QB1 on his bi-week. Okay. All right, let's redraft round one. Oh, Jamie just got, you know, I just got a tradeoffer in my inbox, but it's a team that I'm not actually on.

It's Jamie's team. I'm just in the league. It's the draftathon. Oh, wow. You just, I'm not going to say who sent it, but to me, you just got one of the worst trade offers. This is so bad. Tony Pollard and Jemar Chase for your C.D. Lamb and Josh Jacobs.

That's pretty bad. That's a really bad trade. Wow. I will go in and reject it for you. Okay. What do you guys want to? Do you want to snake draft it here? You want to give me your top 12?

How do you want to handle this? I think we snake draft it, right? Let's snake draft it. You want me to be on it? You guys can do it. I don't mind. All right. Let's go Jamie Heath Dave.

101. I'll take Puka Nakua, 101. PPR. Oh, okay. See, I changed your mind because two days ago you were Bijan. And I said Puka. Yes, Puka is 101. Puka is averaging 27.4 points per game with one touchdown so far. Puka's 101. Heath, you're up.

Yeah, I don't know that we should bet on Puka scoring a lot more touchdowns because he's got Devante Adams on his team, and he hasn't really scored a lot of touchdowns. But I also would have Puka at 101. I'll take Bajon Robinson in it, too. Dave, you're on the clock for two picks. Christian McCaffrey, James Cook. Whoa!

James Cook, already as many 19 carry games this year as he had all of last year. His targets have basically doubled per game. But that is rich. James Cook over Jemir Gibbs over A-chan. Well, I'll say that's too high. You can say it's too high. Where does he rank compared to them in points per game so far?

Well, I can't just draft based on what they've done so far. Of course not. But the dude's been amazing. Everything that we were worried about with regression has spit back in our faces. I think it continues. I think it's more important than the regression part, because I would still bet on him not scoring at the same rate rest of the season, is just that he's getting the work that he deserves.

Hopefully, I think it seems like the bills may have learned their lesson from the end of last year, and they're going to play their best players. And by the way, the running back with the most points per game on average in PPR still hasn't been picked yet. Oh, yes. No, yeah, McCaffrey, right? I'm an idiot.

You took him. I literally took him. Heath, you're up. Fifth pick. This was my third pick, so I'm going to take him on Ross St. Brown. Wow. All right. You've come around. Well, it's a couple guys had to lose, and it's not a Munrae St. Brian or Jamir Gibbs. It's everyone else. So Puka, Bijan, McCaffrey, Cook, St. Brown. Jamie, you're on the clock for two.

Yeah, I will take Devon A. Chan, with the hopeful bump that he could get without Tyree kill there. And then I will say Jemir Gibbs as well. So those two running backs, I think, have the upside. to continue to perform it like the way that they have and even better. Okay. So we go Puka, Bijan, McCaffrey, James Cook, St. Brown, Devon, A. Chan, Jemir Gibbs. Heath, you're up. So that's my sixth of my top seven are gone. I'll take my number seven, who is Jackson Smith and Jigpa.

Hmm. Okay. And I had him 11th, just because I'm a little concerned about the target volume, because they're so run heavy. Dave, you're up with the 1, 2, 3, 4, 9th pick and 10th pick. So Christian McCaffrey hasn't been taken, right?

Now, give me Jonathan, I've got two picks. Yeah. Yes. I'm sticking with running backs. Jonathan Taylor and Omari and Hampton. Ooh. We got two picks left. Is Seekwon going to make it, Heath?

Seekwan was not in my top 12. O'Marian Hampton wasn't either, but I like that. I guess I'm the wide receiver guy. I will take Justin Jefferson. And Jamie, pick 12. I'll take CLEM. I think when he comes back, he's still going to be that guy. So did Jonathan Taylor get left out?

Oh, no, no, Dave took him. Yeah, come on, Heath. Pay attention to the draft, man. I'll recap. Puka, Bajon Robinson, McCaffrey, James Cook, Heath and Jamie, where would you guys have James Cook? That was Davis Pick at 4. I would have had him behind A. Chan and behind

Gibbs? I've got him at 10. I had him at 12, but... Wow. Yeah, I had... I mean, I had Barclay at 7. He's getting four targets per game. You know, he's averaging 3.1 yards per carry. I think Barclay, just they'll spike in efficiency.

He'll be fine. So you'd rather have Barclay than cook? Yeah. Gotcha. Wow. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. One guy ran for 2,000 yards last year.

Yeah, and now he'll be lucky if he runs for like, what's, what's his pace right now? It's not slow. He's played four games. Okay. And what's James Cook's pace right now? Again, I can't make every decision based on what's happened in the first four weeks. I'm not saying you're crazy. Okay, but we've got four weeks of information and watching football that we can use to help determine how we like these guys rest of season.

I think it's a no-brainer that James Cook is a superstar the rest of the season. And I think it's a no-brainer that Saquan's still good, but maybe not as good as where ADP was. Well, okay, I completely agree. I'm not taking him second or third overall, you know, but I am taking ahead of James Cook, but that's fine. I mean, I get it. The good thing is they're both getting targets. I think I actually, I don't know who I rely on that with more. I don't know.

Okay. Sorry. So we had Puka, Bijan McCaffrey, Cook. I'm on Ross St. Brown, A. Chan, Gibbs, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Jonathan Taylor, Omari and Hampton, who I think has 11 catches in two games since the Najee Harris injury, and Justin Jefferson and C.D. Lamb. Let's see, who didn't make... The only guy who I had in the top 12 that didn't make the cut was Barclay. Anybody for you that didn't make this group top 12 that you had? Barkley is the only... I had Nico at 12.

Nico, okay Pacheco You know, Adam's been feeling it this week With all of his He's got those great teams With Javante Williams And Quentin Johnston And Darren Waller on him

And he's Right We need to say Pacheco a little more on You bring me back down to earth You actually do all the bragging for me I appreciate that I love it Yeah, yeah

All right, well you know what There's a game coming up On Thursday night, Dave Richard Uh-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-San-Francisco is at the Rams. A couple of good defenses so far. Both defenses are top eight in yards per play, however. Niners have played only one game without Bosa, so we don't exactly know how good they'll be.

Jamie, what's your feel for this game? Is it going to be a good one for fantasy? It's going to be a mediocre, bad one. What do you think? It could be awful if it's Mac Jones, to Marcus Robinson, and Kendrick Bourne as the quarterback and top receivers for San Francisco. So, I mean, McCaffrey better be ready to do a lot of work because it's going to be a lot of attention for him, understandably. So, I mean, it'll be that way anyway, but it's just feels like it could be an absolute disaster for San Francisco if that's what they're talking about. And Mac Jones is not 100% either, you know, so he's dealing with some knee injury.

So I think he's actually off the injury report. Yeah, but, I mean, he's practicing. I don't know. I don't know how healthy is. Put it that way. You know who to start for the Rams. The real question, I think, is can Stafford have a good game? And he's now multiple touchdown passes in three straight games.

Two of those games, he's at 298 passing yards or more. He's coming off a 375 and 3 game. You mentioned it. I don't know what San Francisco's defense is going to look like because we saw one game against the Jaguars, who don't throw the ball as much as potentially the Rams might in this matchup. And clearly Puka and Devante Adams should be able to have their way with the secondary, depending on how much Stapper throw.

So I think Staffer is a low-end starter. The only real name of prominence that I would start him over, though, is probably Bo Nix. You know, it's one of those weeks where there's a lot of good quarterbacks and with the four teams on a buy. So he's not like any, in my opinion, like a slam dunk must start quarterback, but there is a chance for him to, I think, be in that 22 to 24. point range. So Kyron should do well after what ETN just did this defense. Like San Francisco's the defense right now is a struggle.

So I think it's, you know, start the Rams usually start. Stafford borderline starter McCaffrey is the only one I would trust. If we get Pierce-all and Jennings playing, then you got to be a little concerned, like, how healthy they are. So at best would be low end number two receivers. So let's, yeah, go ahead, go ahead. This is like almost impossible to talk about the 49ers right now because Purdy, Pierce all Jennings had not practiced

all week. Any one of the three or all three could play. They're not been ruled out also. And so if all three of those guys play, you feel a lot different about the 49ers than you do if none of them do. Absolutely. So let's come back to the Niners and stick with the Rams. Would you start

Matthew Stafford and the Niners have been fourth best in yards per attempt allowed, fifth best and fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks? But again, Nobosa. Would you start Stafford or Dak Prescott at the Jets?

Dak. I've got Stafford right now. I will also lower the Rams pass rate if the 49ers don't have

three-fourths of their good offensive fantasy players. Okay. Stafford versus I think the answer was clear for Jamie,

but all of the streaming guys like Tua at Carolina or Bryce Young in that matchup or Dart versus Rattler or any other, or Darnold.

I'll take the streamers. You'll take all this. You're not high on staff. All of them. No. Eight career games against the 49ers. He's had 20 plus fantasy points twice, only once has he had more than 27 pass attempts and 20 plus fantasy points.

It's a great matchup. It's also one where I think we'll see the Rams run the ball a lot. And so I think that Puka and Devante will get their catches. and maybe I'm a little too low because I don't disagree with Jamie saying that Stafford's a high end number 2 QB but I think he's got the same type of upside as a lot of these other streaming quarterbacks

which is living around the 18 to 21 point range Okay So he's the highest, Jamie's in the middle Dave's the lowest on Matthew Stafford Kyron Williams is RB 16 overall right now He's not getting as many carries is on pace for 289 carries. Last year he was on pace for 336 carries,

but the yards per carry is up to 4.5, which is good. But the touchdowns are down. So should people still treat him as a must start, even though he's RB 16 so far, Kyron? They should this week. Yeah. Okay. Are there any, like, Javante Williams or Kyron Williams?

Who would you go with? Javante against the Jets. Javentay's top five this week. so I currently have Kairn higher Okay Scataboo at the Saints or Kairn? I don't know if I can keep it that way

but I currently have Kairn higher Kairn. Over Skadabu for sure. I'll probably move Kairn over Skadabu I was shocked that the Giants are underdogs to the Saints. Oh, we're winning. We're going to win.

It's going to be great. We're not going to trade for Tyree Kill anymore. That's my plan. Start both wide receivers. At this point, where do you have Devante Adams? Top 15. Stard him. Okay.

Hasn't been a great matchup so far. They've held Marvin Harrison Jr. Olavay and Brian Thomas Jr. to fewer than 12 points, but Marvin Harrison Jr. could have had a massive game. He had two big drops. Sit the Rams tight ends. Let's go to the 49ers.

If Brock Purdy plays, he would be what? Behind the streamers. Who else is playing besides Brock Purdy? Right. Okay, yeah. So I think it's easy to sit Purdy if he doesn't have his full compliment. But let's say the best case scenario is they all play.

I really don't think that's going to happen. But Purdy, Pearsall, Jennings, all play. Then what? I'm starting Brock Purdy. I like Purdy better than Stafford, for sure. I'd start Stafford over Purdy. I'd start Tuo over Purdy. He's clearly dealing with something,

and his receivers are dealing with something. Like, how can you expect them to finish the game? Yeah, and even if he does finish, he... Did he finish last week's game? He finished last week's game, but he's worse now than he was. But he also didn't... I think he was asked about whether or not the toe altered his mechanics because he was not good. He was missing high a lot.

And he didn't say yes, but he also didn't say no. He's like, maybe, I think he said maybe I have to look at it or something. So he's played, he just wasn't good last week. He wasn't Brock Purdy. But his not good, like the interceptions have been bad, but he's still averaging eight yards per attempt. And now he's throwing 35, he was 8.1 last week. Oh, wow. Okay.

And now he's throwing 35 plus times a game. because they can't run the ball officially. So he's thrown, he's played two games. He's thrown for 277 yards and 309 yards, and he has two touchdowns in both. Their ninth in pass rate. That is shocking for the 49ers, and it's great. They can't run.

All right, so start McCaffrey. If Pierceall and Jennings play, do you like them? No. If one of them plays, they'll probably be close to 24 for me. If both of them play, they'll both probably be close to 30 for me. Yeah, they'll be 25 to 36 for me. Okay. Yeah, I mean, look, there's four teams on a buy, so.

It's a terrible week for wide receiver. It's a terrible year for a wide receiver. Horrible. Horrible. And then Kendrick Bourne or DeMarcus Robinson, who do you prefer? No. I think Robinson's the dart throw if you want to really take a chance on someone. But yes, the answer is no.

Jake Tongus. Desperation. Thy name is Tongus. Who was that wide receiver on the 49ers? His last name was James. He had a... Richie James. Remember his Thursday?

Was it him? He had that Thursday night game. Let me see. Let me get his game log here. Oh, good. Stop the show for this. He had nine catches for 184 yards on 13 targets. I think that was a Thursday.

day night game for the 49ers but we're not really not expecting the richie james game and what about jake tongus he's had five targets in two of the last three games i don't know he scored seven point one or more points in three or four games it's true touchdown or bust tight end but if those other guys are out maybe he sees six or seven targets and how do we feel about the dsts rams Rams are a must start. What if they're all healthy? What if Purdy and Pearsall and Jennings play? Rams.

Because it's a pretty good stream. It's a pretty good waiver wire DST week. I mean, you've got the Cardinals, you've got the Chiefs, you've got the Giants, you've got teams that could be good this week. Yeah, if I'm trusting the Giants and the Rams are there, I'm trusting the Rams. Yeah. What about the Cardinals? Cardinals is number one for me.

I would start the Cardinals and the Chiefs over the Rams. Okay. All right, folks. Most important thing that you should do today is stay up to date on the Bucky Irving situation because maybe you just go pick up Sean Tucker now while it's not too late. And also have a wonderful day and have fun. Be merry. And we'll talk to you tomorrow with Starter Sit for the AFC home games.
