We've got injury updates and lineup advice right now for you on Fantasy Football Today in five. Welcome to the show.

Not a ton of news this morning, thankfully. That's a good thing here. Mark Andrews is expected to play. We're going to start with this Baltimore game here. But real quick, you'll start, Andrews. Is there any interest still in Isaiah Likely? Not likely that he does much besides maybe score a touchdown. I would not.

In a tight end premium league, if it's deep and you have a couple flexes, maybe you're in that big of a jam. But I would prefer to stay away. How much more? What are the legs on that likely pun? Just forever? No, I doubt. I mean, what are the odds on him being fantasy relevant again

if Mark Andrews doesn't have an injury? Probably going to fade away. Gus Edwards, according to Adam Schefter last night, odds on him being fantasy relevant again if Mark Andrews doesn't have an injury not likely probably gonna fade away yeah uh Gus Edwards according to Adam Schefter last night he's he's not like he's likely to play but be limited Ian Rappaport saying he's he's not likely to play but he'll test it out in a pre-game warm-up so one way or the other you're not going to get much if anything from Gus Edwards this week so where did you move Ken drake against the panthers he is actually now my highest ranked running back in this game both he and deontay foreman right around rb20 it's got drake at 19 foreman at 20 and full ppr um a decent start start him over deandre swift i'm sure what about jamal williams i would start jamal williams over him i would start Jamal Williams over him. I would start him though over Ezekiel Elliott,

the Washington Commanders running backs, Devin Singletary. What about Tony Pollard? I would start Pollard over him. All right, so we might as well just knock out Zeke then. He's expected to play. So based on what you just said, seems like Pollard's a good start. Zeke is not. No, I wouldn't say it's that big a deal. Like they were all in the same range. It's Pollard's a good start. Zeke is not. No, I wouldn't say it's that big a deal. Like, they were all in the same range. It's Pollard around RB18, Zeke around RB23, 24, depending on the format. Like him a little bit better in non-PPR than I do full. I'm projecting the carries to be split evenly, just because I have no reason to really think they're going to totally go away from Zeke.

But Pollard has been great lately. Doug in our chat here says, would you start Keenan Allen over Paris Campbell? And we don't know for sure that Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are playing. The reports are good. It's a Sunday night game. What do you do with the Chargers guys?

I feel more confident in Mike Williams. The phrasing around Mike Williams seems to be a little bit more confident. So I'm starting Mike Williams over just about anybody. He's a top 15 wide receiver for me this week. Keenan Allen's not far behind. I would, if I have Keenan Allen,

like to have a backup plan. So if I could, and there's plenty to go get, you could even go get somebody on the chiefs, like a Justin Watson or a sky more, because they're going to be shorthanded at wide receiver. You could go get DeAndre Carter maybe still. But I'd like to have a backup plan with Keenan Allen.

All right. Marquise Brown, have we heard anything that leads us to believe that he's going to play and how does it affect your Rondell Moore decisions? I've heard nothing at all. And so I'm moving forward as if he's not going to play. I'm not 100% sure in his very first game, especially now that they're without Zach Ertz,

that we would just see Rondale Moore's targets disappear anyway. So Moore is a high-end number two wide receiver. I would start Mike Williams over him, but I still want to start Rondale Moore. What about Kyler? What do you do if you have to make a 1 p.m. or a 4 p.m. decision versus kyler i would like to have colt mccoy as my backup because i don't think there are any streaming

options that are going to be significantly better than colt mccoy so i would just have colt mccoy and put him on the bench behind kyler and start whoever starts for arizona quarterback um if i have another quarterback who's in that top 12-ish range i'm just starting that guy but you got to play it say you can't sit here on sund morning and expect Kyler Murray to play, right? No, but if it's a choice between picking up Kenny Pickett or even Marcus Mariota or Matt Ryan, I would just pick up Cole McCoy. All right, that's interesting because I do have a Mariota and Kyler league. So I will consider that.

That's a good point. DJ Chark is going to play, and I bring it up because I think he's 16% rostered. You can look at his early season stats, but he hasn't played a game without Josh Reynolds and TJ Hawkinson. So I just think it's such a bad week for wide receiver. I actually am going to start DJ Chark in one league. Three receiver PPR. What do you think about DJ Chark?

So I just updated this morning, and I've got Chark projected for five targets in this game. I would start him over Jahan Dotson, Chase Claypool, Demarcus Robinson, guys in that range, but he did not crack my top 48 wide receivers. It's just, it's a little bit too much for me to get too excited about a guy who's now playing his fourth game of the season everybody else is in mid-season form and he's working his way back in i don't know how many snaps to expect i don't know how many targets to accept and i don't think he's posted a catch rate above 40 in two seasons so like it was back in 2020 the last time we decided i'm even catching 40 of his targets okay and according to Ian Rappaport,

the Cowboys and Giants are the favorites to sign Odell Beckham. How about that? It could be a couple weeks or at least after the Thanksgiving game that the two teams are playing. I'm going to read questions for about 30 seconds here. Najee Harris or Jamal Williams, PPR?

Jamal. Would you bench Rondell Moore for Chris Olave? I would not. You'd rather have Olave? I'd rather have Rondell Moore than Chris Olave. Is Josh Palmer still okay, or should I go with Cooks or Pacheco in PPR? I would probably just not start Cooks,

and if Keenan Allen's out, I'll play Palmer. And if Keenan Allen plays, I'll play Pacheco. Start one in PPR. Keenan Allen, Kadarius Toney, or Jamal Williams? Same thing. In full PPR, I'd probably bench Jamal Williams. I'd play Allen if he plays. I'd play Toney if he doesn't.

I love the fact that all these guys who have chargers have chiefs. That's fantastic. Yeah, it's great. Wakey, wakey, Adam. Looks like you rolled out of bed. It's somewhat accurate. Swift or Warren? Half PPR. I'll go Swift.

Chark or Justin Watson? That's a spot where I'd probably just go ahead and play DJ Chark. Last one. DJ Moore or Deontay Johnson? Half PPR. I've got DJ Moore higher. Alright. Thanks, everybody. Hope you didn've got DJ Moore higher. All right. Thanks, everybody. Hope you didn't draft DJ Moore. I mean, you obviously did. Deontay Johnson, that's tough luck there. Thanks for watching and listening. Good luck. We'll talk to you tonight, 8 p.m. or so,

Eastern Time, to recap the game. See you later.
