Starting point is 00:01:33 Fantasy Football Today Express. Now, last week, we were wondering about Nico Collins on Sunday night. We were wondering about Tyreek Hill on Monday night. I don't think we have those same concerns, although we do have some Sunday night and Monday night injuries about Tyreek Hill on Monday night. I don't think we have those same concerns, although we do have some Sunday night and Monday night injuries, but we feel a little bit more secure about them. So let's get started here with Nico Collins. He says he's going to play any hesitation at all to start him at Dallas on Monday night. They took him off of the injury reports. We heard a week and a

Starting point is 00:01:59 half ago that he was fully cleared. He is a top five wide receiver. I must start I'm starting him. All right, but CD Lamb is on the injury report with a back issue that they say he they expect him to play they're not too concerned. Are you concerned about starting CD lamb? I don't like this potential of him not playing. But I still would put him as a near must start wide receiver if he's active. I think he's going to probably be somewhere in the 15 fantasy point range.

Starting point is 00:02:32 Okay. That's CD lamb and you could, I guess, get Jaylen Tolbert or something like that. If you need a backup plan or I don't know, maybe John Metchi, but let's just hope CD lamb plays T Higgins is going to play. I mentioned this on the mailbag this guy has an absolutely Dreadful history coming back from injury He has done it seven times in his career. I believe and has never had 50 yards in a game First game back from injury or being inactive

Starting point is 00:02:59 So I don't know if that matters to you And again, it looks on paper like a tough matchup Although we don't know fully what this matchup is like with the Chargers. How are you feeling about T Higgins? I have him in a few leagues and I'm playing it safe. I'm not starting him in every league. I'm starting Cedric Tillman over him in a league just to just feel safer with Tillman. How do you feel about Higgins? I don't think there are enough healthy wide receivers who have been good this year for me to sit T Higgins. I would not sit him for Cedric Tillman. He's a top 12 wide receiver. I like the fact that he like again earlier in the week, we heard that T Higgins was going to be okay. It's

Starting point is 00:03:33 not a game time decision. They're acting as if he's 100% healthy. I'm going to assume he's 100% healthy. I'm starting to. Okay. They go to the Chiefs game, the Chiefs Bills game. Jujasmas Schuster could play Amari Cooper. They're optimistic that he's going to play with a cast on his arm. Dalton Kincaid is out any you know big rankings movers for you with the news. I mean I did move Dawson Knox up a little bit, but I just it's so it's really even though the Chiefs have been terrible

Starting point is 00:04:03 against tight ends. The B the chiefs have been terrible against tight ends, the bills tight ends have been terrible this season and Knox is the backup. And so I'm not particularly excited about starting Dawson Knox. I don't, I'm very interested to see what the snap distribution between Hopkins and Juju is. And if they're actually going to play both of those guys, and if they do, then whose role is changing who's going downfield? But I'm mostly just starting Hopkins as a number three wide receiver and leaving Juju on the bench until we see something from him. People forget like the one good game he has this season wasn't the first time he was active with the Chiefs. He was active several

Starting point is 00:04:38 weeks before that, but Rajee Rice was okay. And so Juju just didn't play very much or do very much. So I don't, I don't want to start juju. And I have been the optimist on Amari Cooper, but I'm pumping the brakes there. I'm going to start Jackson Smith and Jigba over him in a league. How are you feeling about Cooper? Cooper is not a top 48 wide receiver for me this week. Okay. I like he's been one of the worst wide receivers in the NFL. And he's playing with a cast on his hand.

Starting point is 00:05:04 Right. And he says he has to get used to catching with it. George Kittle unlikely to play. I guess that was the big news, uh, from overnight and he's got this hamstring injury and he's facing Seattle tight ends. Don't grow on trees. Uh, so how are we feeling about, uh, your thoughts, I guess, on, on this kiddle situation in the 49ers. It stinks.

Starting point is 00:05:23 Um, if you want the nice thing is, if there is a nice thing, is that there are some tight ends who are playing later, who are widely available, who are amongst the guys I would choose anyway if I wanted to replace them. So Will Disley is playing after George Kittle. You can add him and then you can just wait and make sure that Kittle's out and I'm okay starting Will Disley. AJ Barner is playing against Kittle's 49ers and he's filling in for Noah Fant who is out today and we've seen Barner have a couple of decent fantasy games already so go pick up one of those guys and you should be okay. By the way, Will Disley has the Ravens next week. Go look at your lineups. Look at week 12. There are some really good teams on by

Starting point is 00:06:05 week 12. You could have trouble filling out a roster. Will Disley, Jutaveon Sanders plays the Chiefs next week. These are guys you might need to pick up now to get ahead of the game. Let's take a quick break, finish up with some more news and we'll talk about Oh, but before we do that, sorry. Does this make Ricky Pierce all more interesting? Does this just does this downgrade Brock Purdy significantly? What's the rest of the impact on the kiddle injury? Brock Purdy was already ranked so high, like I think there's a possibility of I'm going to move

Starting point is 00:06:33 him down to like six, but I'm still starting Brock Purdy. I am going to move Ricky Pearson up just a little bit. It's a target boost for Debo a target boost for Jennings. And you're probably just starting both of those guys. And Pierce all who I had kind of was putting in that prove it category, do it one more week before I rank you as a starter, now looks like a decent flex. Yeah, and honestly, Trent Williams might not play their left tackle too. And I would care more about that. I just don't know that Seattle is the team that you that you run away from if you're a little injured offensively. All right, now we're gonna take a break,

Starting point is 00:07:06 come back and talk about Sam Laporta being out, the Jaylen Warren update, and Tank Bigsby being out, and then we'll answer your questions on Fantasy Football Today Express. Miller Lite, the light beer brewed for people who love the taste of beer and the perfect pairing for your game time. When Miller Lite set out to brew a light beer,

Starting point is 00:07:27 they had to choose great taste or 90 calories per can. They chose both because they knew the best part of beer is the beer. Your game time tastes like Miller time. Learn more at MillerLite.ca. Must be legal drinking age. Okay, yeah, Sam Laporta out. This is not unexpected,

Starting point is 00:07:49 so this isn't really changing anything for you, but here's a question that relates to two topics here. Jamison Williams or Travis ETN in half PPR. They're facing each other, no Laporta, no Tank Bigsby. What's your answer? Jamison or ETN in half PPR? It's so frustrating because like the right answer is that ETN's floor is much better than Jamison Williams

Starting point is 00:08:08 and Williams might have a better ceiling. I'm going to start ETN over Williams. I don't know how much of an impact Laporta not playing is going to have on Williams. Yeah, I don't either. The target per hour run rate is almost double for Jamison Williams when Laporta is off the field, but I don't really the target per hour run rate is almost double for James and Williams when the port is off the field But I don't really know what that means because right it's not like the port has missed a game

Starting point is 00:08:29 It's just you know snaps within a game So I don't know if you could take much out of that and then Jalen Warren is questionable Najee Harris will play I know we didn't like Najee going into the week against the Ravens But with Warren beat up and don't even know if he's going to play, what do you think about Najee now? Yeah, I think that the reports this morning were that they were expecting Jaylen Warren to play and Cordero Patterson is back anyway. So even if Jaylen Warren didn't play, I think Patterson might take some of the pass catching downs.

Starting point is 00:08:56 Harris is a high end flex or a bad number two running back, but it's a terrible matchup and he hasn't been super involved in the passing game. So I still don't want to start him. All right, let's read some questions here. Nick Chubb, Drake London or Jaden Reed, half PPR. I am sticking with Drake London. And we expect Mooney to play, right? Mooney's good.

Starting point is 00:09:17 Yes. Okay. Jaden Reed or Quinton Johnston. I will go with Jaden Reed, but that one is very close. Tank Dell or Quinton Johnston? I will go with Jaden Reed, but that one is very close. Tank Dell or Quinton Johnston? I will go with Tank Dell, but that one is very close. ETN or Jacoby Myers, half PPR? I've got Jacoby Myers, a top 12 wide receiver.

Starting point is 00:09:38 JSN, oh sorry, JSN or Khalil Shakir PPR? Shakir. Pick one in half PPR. Jawan Jennings, Khalil Shakir, Jaden Reed, Josh Downs. Shakir. Hunt or Brown, Chase Brown, I guess. Hunt or Chase Brown, half PPR. I would go with Chase Brown.

Starting point is 00:10:04 They're both number two running backs. Should I flex a Gassiki or Javante Williams? Well, I think like I do have this situation in a league and it stinks because you don't really want to play estimate or Javante. But if he's already got Javante, estimated the starting lineup, I'd probably I'm playing Javante over Gassiki.

Starting point is 00:10:27 With, because of Esteem being in your lineup or just independent? I mean, obviously what this does is if you play Gavante, then your floor is better. And if you play Gassiki, then your ceiling is better. So you can make the decision based on that if you want to and kind of looking at the matchup. But I also just have Gavante projected higher than Gassiki

Starting point is 00:10:44 who has done almost nothing with T Higgins. All right a couple more here Najee Harris or Tony Pollard? Pollard. And how about Tyreek Hill or Cedric Tillman? Tillman. Play the music. Wow, oh wow. So Tyre Kill is pretty low. Wait. Sorry, I got carried late. All right, we'll get it. We'll get it going during the 1130 stream. All right, yeah, so listen, if you can get your question answered,
