Sunday, week four.
What's going on, everybody?
Let's get those lineups set with your latest injury news right now on Fantasy Football Today in five.
Okay, Adam Azer and Heath Cummings here.
We're going to give you all the advice.
Heath's going to tell you who to start and sit.
But listen, don't be like the random guy on the street that saw Heath yesterday and didn't like some of his advice and clocked him right in the left eye.
Look at that eye, folks
watching on YouTube. Look at that shiner.
This is a nice
reminder that I am old.
I should not leave the ground with both
feet at the same time under any circumstances.
And basketball
courts are hard.
You hit the court?
I did the helicopter.
Jump up in the air to block a
shot undercut helicopter in the air laying on your head oh no oh gosh all right just bled all over
the court all over my clothes everywhere don't you have something in your contract that you can't
play basketball before fft on sunday i think it's going to be added immediately all right let's uh
let's get into it now.
So, first of all, the tight end's really interesting.
Kittle is questionable, but Gronk is out.
We've got Will Disley as a sleeper, maybe Ross Dwelly.
I mean, we're talking deep here.
Cameron Bray.
How about Anthony Ferkser?
Let's not forget about him.
He's looking like he'll be active today after missing the last two games,
and the Titans obviously are down some players. So, what do you recommend at tight end if we need a flyer? At the beginning of the week, the two guys
I was really interested in were Dalton Schultz and Tyler Conklin. Schultz over Conklin. Disley,
for me, moved into that range with Gerald Everett being ruled out due to COVID-19. I think
you can expect four to five front targets for Disley and obviously a good offense with Russell
Wilson. So he would be right up there
with Schultz if we knew for sure Kittle was out then Dwelley'd be in the equation too but I'm not
going to add Ross Dwelley and wait until the inactives to find out if George Kittle is going
to play or not okay and uh how about the running back situation here first of all Le'Veon Bell is
going to be active today does that just mean are you staying away from tyson williams completely now yeah i pretty much was already i
i don't have levy on in the projections yet but even without him i had tyson running back 33
so he's a desperation flex i mean i do think that i i've talked about cutting him and i've cut him
for chupa huppard in the league i don't want to just drop him this morning. I still think there's a small chance that they just give him the ball like we wish they would,
but you can't start him.
Dalvin Cook, we expect him to play?
Expecting him to play.
Okay, and if he doesn't play, Madison is a must start.
One of them's top five.
Exactly.
Eli Mitchell out.
What do you think about Sermon this week?
High-end flex. I about Sermon this week?
High-end flex. I prefer Sermon to Tyson Williams for sure.
And I think there's a possibility. I mean, the Seahawks defense hasn't been very good.
There's a possibility that Sermon really makes a statement in this game,
and we're viewing him as what we were hoping Mitchell was going to be.
What about Justin Fields? He's starting a quarterback for the,
for the Chicago bears facing Detroit this week. So I can't imagine anyone starting fields,
maybe DFS flyer or something,
but what about Alan Robinson and David Montgomery?
Yeah.
I mean,
the only way you're starting fields is if you start two quarterbacks
today.
I don't think we know enough about Justin Fields to know for sure how this
impacts Montgomery and Robinson versus whether Nick Foles or Andy Dalton was
starting.
So I'm starting Montgomery as a number two running back.
I'd prefer to start Robinson as a number three wide receiver.
He's a borderline number two, number three.
I'm really interested in seeing fields against this lion defense and
hopefully it's better.
What do you do if you have Josh Jacobs?
He's questionable for Monday night.
They're going to see how he feels before the game.
It's not just Josh Jacobs. What do you do if you have Peyton Barber?
True.
It really depends on what else is on your roster.
If you have, like if it's a
flex situation and you can go get
Hunter Renfro or someone like that, then I
could understand waiting it out. Again, even if Jacobs is back, he's going to be a low end number two running
back. So you might have somebody on your bench that you could just start and not worry about it.
Do you start Jacoby Myers? That's probably the player last night. We were doing the Ask FFT on
Twitter that I got the most questions about Jacoby Myers.
I know you liked him as a buy low earlier this week
as someone you could play as a number three
receiver. Do you like him in week four?
I mean,
I think as much as I'm ever
going to like him, he's a number three in PPR.
And he's a number three in non-PPR
as well. But mid-range,
I would start him in full
PPR over Corey Davis. I would start him over Chase, um, I would start him in full PPR over like Corey Davis. I would
start him over chase Claypool. I would start him over Odell Beckham, but I do still have him behind
both the Steelers that are playing. I've got them behind Jalen while I've got them behind Marquise
Brown. So he's in that number three range. It's funny. You acknowledge that Claypool is not
playing while also saying you would start buyers over him. Claypool is not playing while also saying you would start buyers over him.
Claypool is not playing.
Does that make Juju Smith Schuster and Deontay Johnson bus starts?
I,
I haven't projected that way.
It feels gross to say,
because you know,
it's going to be like 15 catches for 45 yards,
but in PPR,
that's a,
that's a win.
One more running back to ask you about Daryl Henderson.
What are we doing with the Rams?
I don't like Henderson as much
as I liked Michelle without Henderson.
Right. Because I think that they'll probably share
a little bit more than they have so far this season.
But I still have Henderson as a
low mid-range number two running
back. And I think you're probably
starting him. It wouldn't surprise me
if he had zero to two catches
obviously just, you know, given his
track record and what we've seen so far from the team.
So would you start, say, a Jacoby Myers
or a Corey Davis or something like that
over Daryl Henderson?
I would not.
I would still, I still think
there's more upside for Henderson, personally.
Okay, let me go through a few questions
from the people here on YouTube.
Eli Mitchell, Josh Jacobs, Jamison Crowder.
Standard scoring pick two.
Eli Mitchell, Josh Jacobs, Jamison Crowder. Standard scoring pick two. Eli Mitchell, Josh Jacobs, Jamison Crowder.
Oh, Mitchell's out.
Mitchell's out.
You need to go find a backup plan for Jacobs.
Yeah.
You're starting Crowder, it seems like.
And you need to get Hunter Renfro on your bench
so you can wait Jacobs out.
I wish I were playing against you.
From Mista Juju, Sutton, Cordero, Patterson, or Curtis Samuel?
It's probably Debo Samuel.
Sorry.
Sutton, Patterson, Samuel.
If it's Debo Samuel, it's definitely Samuel.
If it's Curtis Samuel, then it's Sutton.
Tim Patrick or Nick Westbrook-Akina?
I will go with Patrick.
Jamal Williams or Corey Davis?
Williams and non-Davis in half and full PPR.
I like this one.
Daryl Henderson or Zach Moss?
Daryl Henderson for me.
I'm not as sold.
One game, one good game as a Buffalo Bill
does not put you in the number two running back.
One good game.
I'm just not that far from the truth.
All right, everybody.
We'll talk to you tonight, 8.15ish p.m., maybe a little bit earlier as we recap week four
at youtube.com slash fantasyfootballtoday.
And thank you so much for listening to the audio version of this.
Good luck, everybody.
Let's get a W.
