He's a naughty lister. Naughty lister? Dwayne Johnson. We got snowmen!
Starting point is 00:01:15 Chris Evans. I might just go back to the car. Let's save Christmas. I'm not gonna say that. Say it. All right. Let's save Christmas. There it is.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Only in theaters, November 15th. Happy Christian McCaffrey day, everybody. But will it be a Tyreek Hill day? Will it be a Nico Collins day? We'll talk about it right now on FFT Express. All right, a lot of big news to get to here, but we'll go position by position. Starting with the quarterbacks,
Starting point is 00:01:43 Dak Prescott likely to have season ending surgery according to ESPN. That's not going to make any difference for this week. Trevor Lawrence is likely out, but Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. are expected to play. Are you still cool starting Brian Thomas Jr. Heath? Yeah, I think I moved him down four or five spots. The truth is there really hasn't been that big a difference
Starting point is 00:02:03 between Trevor Lawrence and Mack Jones and their career. I think that it will be maybe 85% of what you're used to from Brian Thomas Jr. Will Levis is going to start for Tennessee. Remember Calvin Ridley with Will Levis is eight, it's like 19 yards. He hasn't been very good at all. Starters at Calvin Ridley at the Chargers. He's about five spots behind Brian Thomas Jr. So if you're starting three wide receivers, I think I'm still starting Calvin Ridley, but in a two wide receiver league, I'd like to get away from well, that's the boring stuff. Here we
Starting point is 00:02:32 go to the exciting stuff. Christian McCaffrey is back. Is he an automatic start? Yeah, he's I think I'm maybe a little lower than Dave and Jamie on him just because I'm not sure he's going to have his complete workload in his first game of the season. But I can't imagine you're sitting Grisha McAfee. Now remember we have a 9 a.m. show and a noon eastern show 9 a.m. eastern noon eastern at at youtube.com fantasy football today. Join us then and we'll give you some more line of advice. Tajay Spears and Tony Pollard are both going to play. Jonathan Brooks is out though.
Starting point is 00:03:05 So does that affect your ranking of Chuba Hubbard at 9.30 AM? You know, I didn't really have a huge role projected for Jonathan Brooks in his first game. So no, Hubbard is a very good number two running back. Brian Robinson Jr. is out. Thoughts on Eckler? He is a top 12 running back. Okay. Okay. All right. Let's go to the
Starting point is 00:03:27 wide receivers. Here we go. Tyreek Hill is questionable and he's playing Monday night. This stinks. He has a wrist injury. He may not play. I'll tell you what I'm doing right now. And what I've advised other people to do is to pick up John who Smith, if you can, Matt, if you can maneuver it into a flex spot here. And then, then you can wait, because I, I don't want Odell Beckham or anything like that. I don't know. I mean, like DeMarcus Robinson, is that preferable? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:03:53 So what do you think? What would you tell the Tyree kill manager? I would put DeMarcus Robinson ahead of John who Smith, but I think John who Smith's a fine guy to carry as well. Hopefully just place it's a wrist guy to carry as well. Um, hopefully just place. I mean, it's a wrist. He's fine. It's not even as catching wrist.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Uh, yeah. So, so, uh, is there anything? Yeah. It's a Marcus Robinson, Johnny Smith. Anything else there? No, I don't think so. No other, no other players from that game. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Uh, and then Nico Collins. So Tankdell is going to play. Nico Collins has been activated, but he's apparently a game time decision. What do you make of this one? This is Sunday night, this stinks too. Yeah, so hopefully, like we received word at the beginning of the week that he'd basically
Starting point is 00:04:41 passed all of his tests and was fine. And then he didn't practice. And so then they get a partial practice on Friday. Um, I am kind of just expecting Nico Collins to play, but one of those guys that we just told you that you could pick up for Tyree kill, you could do the same for Nico Collins, you could do that also with a Dalton Schultz. Um, but. Like I said, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I'm not planning on leaving Nego Collins on the bench. Any of my leaks. OK, more news items here and we'll get to your questions in a little bit. Drake London expected to play Amari Cooper is questionable thoughts on the bills wide receivers. Khalil Shakir is in that Calvin Ridley
Starting point is 00:05:24 range of a really good number three wide receiver, a really suspect number two wide receiver. I don't really want to use Amari Cooper even if he's active. How come? He didn't hardly even have a role in their most recent game. Yeah. That he was played in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Oh God, it's such a... And he's been terrible all season long. Yeah. Well, yeah, except for that first game. And he's played in. Yeah. Oh God, it's such a and he's been terrible all season long. Yeah. Well, yeah, except for that first and he's injured with Buffalo. All right. Michael Pittman is out. Jalen McMillan is questionable. They have a 1 p.m. game against San Francisco, so we'll know early if Jalen McMillan is playing.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I think the last two times he played McMillan had eight or nine targets. I didn't do much with it. But any interest in McMillan if he plays? He's kind of a desperation boom bust flex. Chris Olave is going on IR. Cedric Wilson Jr. is out. Is there anyone that's going to be significant to catch passes for the Saints today against the Falcons? I think Alvin Kamara might catch a couple. Taysom Hill also a good start at tight end. And if you're really desperate, I think Joanne Johnson might have a good day. Debo Samuel and Joanne Jennings are gonna play.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Mike Williams will play, but you know, we don't know how many snaps, typically not a lot for guys get traded. And Tennessee cornerback, Ligeria Snead is out. That past event, and also Quandre Diggs is out for the season. So good matchup for Justin Herbert in the passing game. We're gonna take a break and we're going to
Starting point is 00:06:43 answer your questions when we come back on Fantasy Football Today Express. I am so dreading groceries this week. Why? You can skip it. Oh, what, just like that? Just like that. How about dinner with my third cousin? Skip it.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Prince Fluffy's favorite treats? Skippable. Midnight snacks? Skip. My neighbor's nightly saxophone practices? Uh, nope, you're on your own there. Coulda skipped it? Shoulda skipped it. Skip to the good part and get groceries, meals,
Starting point is 00:07:12 and more delivered right to your door on skip. Welcome back, everybody. I am banning users from the chat, these bots. I love it, very therapeutic. Here's a question. Jordan Mason, can't start him anymore. Tank Del or Amari Cooper? We're going with Tank Del.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Pollard or Chuba Hubbard? Chuba Hubbard. I will go with Chuba. Goff or Kyler Murray? I will go with Kyler Murray. Tank Dell or Marvin Harrison Jr. Tank Dell. Tyrone Tracy or David Montgomery.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Tyrone Tracy. Nico or Neighbors. You gotta play Neighbors this morning. Quinton Johnston or Tony Pollard. I will go with, that's a really close one. I'm full PPR, but I'll still go Pollard. Ray Davis or DiMario Douglas. I'd probably rather start DiMario. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:18 We need three wide receivers here. We've got Nico Collins, CD Lamb, Devanteae Adams, Josh Downs and DeAndre Hopkins. So I'm definitely starting lamb. I'm definitely starting I'd probably just go lamb Adams Downs in this situation. I'd like to wait though, but I don't want to drop any of those guys. Yeah, boy, that is tough. That stinks. Sorry, tough call there. Waddell or West Brookakene.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And this is a week, and I know you don't like to do this, but like it may also be impacted by whether you had Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson or Jamar Chase. Like we had 70 point swings in some leagues. I'm ahead of 100 to one against Jacob Gibbs in one league right now. So if you're way behind, wait on Nico. If you, if you've got a little lead, play it safe. I would go waddle over Westbrook. Who did he start?
Starting point is 00:09:11 They got him one point. Justice Hill. Oh yeah. That's not good. Uh, Dalton Kincaid or Hunter Henry PPR. I will go with Hunter Henry. McBride or Otten. McBride or Otten? McBride.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Otten. Ha ha ha. Devontae Smith or C.D. Lam? It is C.D. Lam. I still think C.D. Lam is a top 12 wide receiver this week and rest of season. But not top 5.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Right, but Devontae Smith is not either. Yeah, no, I'm just clarifying. Hopkins wattle or Harrison Jr. That full PPR. So that's that's the worst format for Marvin Harrison Jr. So it's not him. I will go Hopkins. Is it worth the risk on wattle? Because like what if Tyreek doesn't play? And Devon H channel probably have 12 catches. Okay. Sam Darnold or Patrick Mahomes? Darnold.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I will go Darnold. And pick two here. Hopkins, Downs, Brian Thomas Jr. I will sit Hopkins. DJ Moore, Marvin Harrison Jr. or Bucky Irving PPR? I will go with DJ Moore. And we'll do one more here. How about... Devo Samuel or Tony Pollard? Devo.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Ooh, French toast or Belgian waffle? French toast. Waffle. Thank you for watching everybody. We will talk to you at 9 a.m. Eastern with Fantasy Football Today, youtube.com slash fantasy football today. Check it out. We're answering your questions.
Starting point is 00:10:49 See you later.
